- Within the next few hours bm2font version 2.0 will be available
- from the stuttgart server (ftp.uni-stuttgart.de).
- In case of emergency you can get it out of the darkness of the
- incoming subdirectory there.
-
- The new version does not support the pixel file format any more.
- So the pk files can grow up to 64KB now :-) and bm2font generates
- much less fonts for one picture. In case of two colors (black and white)
- the picture may fit into one font, depending on the resolution of course.
-
- The -p parameter now has a different meaning: it controls the
- size of the generated characters. Default is width and height up
- to one inch, with -pn the limit is 0.5 inch, more characters and
- more fonts. If you have problems with the default size (LN03?)
- try -pn.
-
- Thanks to all who have been waiting for the new version for such
- a long time.
-
- I hope the C-version will follow soon.

- Regards
